"Dear Peter,
I have been trying out your new “Signature Formula” from your CECILIA Rosin collection and I really love it.
It is strong but not too grainy creating a full and rich sound. It also lasts longer so I don’t have to rosin my bow as often.
I have tried at least 30 different brands of rosins over the years, but CECILIA Signature is my favorite.
Bravo! "

4 formulas available for violin, viola and cello
Formulas for CECILIA SOLO, A Piacere and Sanctus are identical to the ones produced under the name "ANDREA." Except Sanctus, all formulas are available in Full and Mini sizes. Sanctus is available in Full size only.
The possibilities are unlimited.
Choice of rosin and string is very personal, and the same rosin can feel different in sound and bowing sensation depending on the various combinations of the instrument, bow and the strings. The preference can also change while you continue to develop your skills and musicianship. I recommend you to take time and experience the broad range of options available to you until you find your ideal performance setup.

It worked as described. Initially, I was sceptic, but once I applied it to my bow, the sound changed to a more mellow expression. The sonority was not as "at large" as in solo; the squeaking disappeared, and the bow handling improved significantly, making "whisper" phrasing easier. I used cheap rosin because, as I was wrongly taught, "any rosin is good." For a beginner, this is a significant improvement.

I play a 50 year old instrument strung with Spirocore and Larsen strings. Bow is pernambuco. I live in very.dry climate. I've used this rosin just this winter, after playing with other premium cello.specific light or dark rosins. This Cecilia is clearly the best. Applied liberally, produces excellent tone quality and good complexity with less tendency to scratch. It is worth the price. Recommended.

I don't think that violinists should make too much or too little of rosin. It is a variable in tone production, but it enhances more than anything. I know violinists that have been using the same block of Hill rosin for decades, and they sound good. Nevertheless, I hear differences between different rosins.I have been using Liebenzeller Gold II for nearly 20 years with satisfactory results. I occasionally try new rosins but have always returned to Liebenzeller. I use Andrea Solo rosin on my viola bow, so I decided to try Sanctus violin rosin to see what it offers.Compared to the Liebenzeller, the Santus produces more dust. I spend more time cleaning my strings and violin body after playing than I did before. While this is a strike against the rosin, I don't think the amount of dust is unacceptably high.The Sanctus enhances overtones like Liebenzeller. In this category, I consider the two rosins roughly equal. Both also facilitate smooth bowing without much effort.I favor the Sanctus with regard to the texture of sound. The fact that the rosin bows so smoothly yet retains some of the "grain" is an achievement. The added texture is subtle but definitely preferable to the Liebenzeller. It reminds me a bit of the popular Baker's rosin--not a lot of string noise but still produces good texture. It bows more smoothly than the Baker's too.I hope these comments help. I haven't seen much written on Sanctus rosin, and I think it is well worth a try.

I was a little apprehensive about the price - but it grips so much better than my previous resin and provides a nice rich sound. I also love that it comes in a case which so far has helped from breakage or chipping!

I bought it as a splurge, figuring I wouldn’t really be able to hear a difference, but in fact it goes very far smoothing out my sound. In fact, I had to work a little to put a bite back into my playing, but for my personal playing goals, that is OK. I also like the little thingy to comb the rosin through the bow hairs. I thought it would be a silly gadget but I use it each time.

I recently saw this rosin in a Reel video by Ray Chen. Nice looking and came with a rosin spreader which I think it’s very cool. Rosin helped to bring out the tone of the violin. Warm but with clarity and volume. The rosin spreader also helped to ensure evenly spread of the rosin. Highly recommended. I also purchased the other Cecilia rosin but I think this is my new favorite. It has a combined tone from their Solo and maybe signature rosin. Complex tone

Not liking it all. I’m a professional violinist and I’ve tried different rosins throughout the years. This one, first of all, not the best match for my bow-strings-violin combo but what really annoys me is that for $50, and I used it not more than 3 times, there are already numerous little pieces that broke off of that rosin. I went back to my obligato rosin but I can only imagine, what would happen to this one if id used it regularly. Very disappointing!!

excellent quality and my daughter's cello teacher recommended. good design and it comes with a small additional pack.it's definitely worth the money, cause good ronsin would last for years, way less dusting than cheaper one.
